Money and job earned through degree achieved by cheating in exams is permissible or forbidden?
Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: A man got a job on the basis of a degree certificate, but he cheated in the exams for this degree. Now he is performing well, according to the testimony of his bosses. What is the ruling on his salary – is it halal or haram?
He replied: There is nothing wrong with it, in sha Allah, but he must repent to Allah for what he did of cheating. That is provided that he is doing his work as it should be done. In that case, there is no problem with regard to his salary, but he erred by cheating in the past, and he must repent to Allah from that."(Majmu‘ Fatawa Ibn Baz 19/31).
